Inspired by Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are...And inspired by a Beansprouts child’s Spiderman costume and his inspiring idea that we can all be superheroes who save the world and be kind.

The day he wore his costume andUsed powers of one kindAnd anotherHis mother called him “Spider Man!”

And he said “I’ll save the world!”So he was sent to save the world and everything.

That very night in his roomTrouble brewedAnd brewed…and brewedUntil the room was full of troubleAnd the people needed saving everywhere.

And an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for himAnd he sailed off through night and dayAnd in and out of weeksAnd almost over a yearTo where the superheroes are

And when he got to the place where the superheroes areThey tied their colorful capesAnd used their incredible powersAnd donned their colorful tightsTill the child said “Be Still!”And tamed them with the magic trick of tying his Spiderman belt all by himselfAnd they were humbled and called him“The most super-est of superheroes.”

“And now,” cried he, “Let the wild saving start!”And they saved a kitty up a tree.And they saved a friend who was feeling sad.And they saved a ball that went over the fence.

“Now stop!” he said and sent the superheroes off to save the world by themselves.And he was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all.And from far away across the world he heard his Mom callingSo he gave up being the super-est of all the superheroes.

But the superheroes cried: “Oh, please don’t go! We need your help to be superheroes!”But he said “No!”The superheroes tied their colorful capes and used their incredible powers and donned their colorful tights but the child stepped into his private boat and waved goodbye.

And sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks and over a day and into the night of his very own room ​where he found his Mommy waiting for him.
